Miss., and are per- forming a duty as citizens, even while preparing themselves by earnest study for useful futures. We are proud of the men of our school who, in addition to their studies, spend one and one half hours each week preparing for emergencies they sincerely hope will never arise. A large part of the Non-Commissioned staff of Co. A is drawn from this school. Their faithfulness to duty, and earnest desire to learn, have won for them the coveted insignia of rank and responsibility. These men form the back-bone of any army, and the officers of Co. A. are proud of their Non-Commissioned personnel. Though Young, and perhaps inexperienced, these men are not altogether untried in emergencies. On April Nineteenth, Nineteen twenty seven, they were called to Greenville for special duty on the levee. The sullen, dreary morning of April Twentieth, found five of them al lVlounds Landing, where, the levee broke. The coolness, bravery, discipline and devotion to duty, elicited the utmost praise from their officers and the citizens of the stricken area. Une private carried a message afoot from Mounds Landing to Greenville, in the face of the gravest danger. A sergeant, in just two words, voiced the thoughts of his comrades, when ordered to take the men to safety and leave their officer to guard government property he said, uweill sticlcn All of the men worked like beavers and had to be ordered out of dangerous places. For two days and nights, with practically no rest, and very little food, these men carried -un, ren- dering assistance and succor to refugees. Men who could not swim volunteered to man rescue boats, even after they had been informed of the extreme danger. The citizens of Greenville, Rolling Fork, Leland, and surrounding territory have nothing but praise for these youngsters who proved themselves men in an emergency. In all, this service lasted until May l0th, when the last of the unit was released. w : 2 2 s ,fir f 5 4 2 Q -, ' e - ' f 'YN E E Z E 'R' N f' X' wr X501 ' 5 f T- XAYK' fN..fs f' X ff-N A afkgsf rs -- . x N-K' 1- N' E- N'NN'- f -

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll EI QSDEC f N ,Nix -A A1-.a'lfx.s--1:-f-' e P1515 aa: s sf Music Club USIC, like other fine arts, begins in the heart. Why should we not sing of the good things of God? If the day is pure and serene we enjoy its glad- ness. Why should we not lift our voices in song and praise? Why should we not make merry with piano, violin, flute, and harp? There's within our hearts a melody, and the music club endeavors to give expression to that song. This lively organization consists of students who are ar- dently pursuing courses in piano, voice, violin, and saxophone. Members of the club constantly supply ginger and spicey fun to all our stage entertainments. If you do not believe music hath its charms, just come to chapel exercise and hear, not only instrumental music, but the hearty singing of the entire student body in such glorious outbursts as To the Work, If Your Heart Keeps Right, and He Keeps Me Singing. Under the skilled leadership of lVlrs. O. W. Holmes music has become a source of great pleasure to us all. We feel that this Club has filled and will con- tinue to fill an important place in the S.
